General Motors is doubling down on autonomous driving and electric vehicles despite skepticism in the U.S. market, announcing that its hands-off Super Cruise technology will expand across nearly its entire lineup—including pickup trucks and crossovers—with the company now testing at 1 million miles monthly. The push hinges on a new OnStar AI system that learns driver habits and preferences, positioning the vehicle as a trusted personal assistant capable of everything from suggesting favorite restaurants to interpreting dashboard alerts, with much of the processing happening locally on new in-vehicle computing hardware rather than relying on cloud connectivity.
